Did takeout, and comparing their ribs and sausage to Mission BBQ left a lot to be desired. We've tried 4 different BBQ places in northern Virginia and this is definitely 4th of that group.

Food and service are excellent. I haven't found a bad food item yet, though if you get the BBQ burget beware, it is a lot of burger.Most BBQ burgers are beef patties with BBQ sauce, this is a beef patty with pulled pork on top. It's like having a pulled pork sandwich and a burger in the same meal. Very good, but prepare to be stuffed.Also, if you are going to get corn bread make sure to get two servings for each person. The cornbread is excellent, but one piece just isn't enough.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is mostly accessible, but the main ordering area is at the bar, which is not very wheelchair friendly. Plus, the bar backs to several booths, meaning there is not sufficient space to turn around a wheelchair. You'll probably have to reverse away.Dining in may also be challenging as most of the seats are booths. There is a small area with tables in the middle, which might work if you need to bring in a wheelchair. But it is tight.I'm not sure how accessible the restrooms are (I have not used them). However, access means going past the bar, which is challenging sometimes for able bodied people when other people are sitting at the bar. I doubt a wheelchair would fit without asking everyone to get up.

Good BBQ. Fast casual style restaurant. Full service prices. Brisket was good. Nachos a little light. Pork on them could have been cut a little smaller. Overall a good visit.

This is a small barbecue joint in a bit of a strip mall, but it's worth the stop if you're in the area. The meat was juicy (I had pulled pork and the brisket), the sides were tasty (be forewarned, the collards had hot pepper flakes in them without warning, which I enjoyed but if you're not expecting it...), and they have a nice selection of beer. I splurged a little and got the Brunswick stew, and it was quite tasty, with a little kick.I primarily dealt with one young lady behind the counter for ordering and delivery of my food, and she was very helpful and quite pleasant to deal with. This is the type of establishment that, in spite of its shopping center location, brings in regular customers - one of the folks behind the counter greeted a customer who came and sat at the counter by name, and seem to have an idea of what the customer regularly ordered.Overall, it was a really good experience, even if a tad bit more expensive than I had expected (But I also don't get out much, so maybe that's the only rate these days...). If you want to try two meats, and have a beer, expect to spend along the line of $35 or so, but it was yummy.

Food is great, probably the best barbq in the area. Service is meh, friendly enough. Prices are high but that is barbq, right? Small place but has a good vibe. Small outside seeing.

It's BBQ, it was good but definitely not the best. If I had an itch this place does satisfy. Had the brisket (moist), sausage, and meatloaf. Meatloaf and sausage were dry. Mac and cheese was good. Brisket was good too.
